3. My emphasis on natural beauty these days

My emphasis on natural beauty these days is a gift to my wife, who is in the eleventh hour of dying from ovarian cancer. These photographs serve many purposes. They brighten her days; they bring some of the outdoors, that she can no longer enjoy, indoors for her; and they act as healing, cleansing therapy for me.

I'm grateful to be part of an appreciative forum like this, to spread the bounty of beauty a little wider.

6. I'm a survivor (so far) and my cousin just underwent surgery for ovarian cancer.

Her odds aren't as good as mine were.

It's a horrible disease and I am not without some idea of how bad it gets.

7. A beautiful image made more beautiful by the sentiment behind it.

8. Gorgeous shade of blue, the background is excellent for the pic.

So sorry to hear of your wife's cancer.
Glad to know your pics are helpful to the both of you.

9. A different crop, and a hollyhock

My wife is a lifelong fine artist, who has worked with Photoshop since the year before it was released. She has the eye of a painter and the chops of a wizard. She pointed out this crop in the frame right before the one I originally posted. She was right.



One more from this morning.
